Sure, easily.

Create an option button and put the menu you want into its contents. Put 
a corresponding menupick handler in its script. Hide the button.

In the field where you check for a right-click, just use "popup <name of 
btn>". That's about it. The button script can either execute commands 
directly ("copy", "paste") or it can call out to a custom handler in the 
message path.
